The present study was undertaken to determine the effects that leadership training has on employees’ morale at work. The study was conducted on 15 students from three organisations within the Buffalo City area, studying towards a Diploma in Manufacturing Management at the Johnson & Johnson Leadership Development Institute, Rhodes University, East London Campus. The main aims of the study were: · to review the literature of the leadership training conducted at the Johnson & Johnson Leadership Development Institute (JJLDI), and to assess the effects it has on employees’ morale at work. · to provide industry with documented evidence that the leadership training conducted at the JJLDI has a positive influence on employees morale. · to provide the JJLDI with valuable information as to whether or not the course material and methods has a positive impact on meeting industry demands. A secondary objective of the study was to provide a medium in which students undergoing the leadership training were able to address their concerns with regard to course content and structure. Fieldwork comprised a 5-day, week (40 hours) of intensive lectures and group discussions at Rhodes University. Students were then assigned a 4-month workbased project with the lecturer acting as mentor to each student. The researcher used self- administered electronic questionnaires as the research tool. Results revealed the following: · that the students morale increased by more than 20 percent after having undergone leadership training; that the students communication skills has increased, and, · that the students interpersonal relations with co-workers has shown a significant increase Future implications are that students exposed to this type of leadership training will have a positive influence on their co-workers. This will spurn a new organisational culture that will cope with global demands. In some cases these future leaders will be the source of sustained competitive advantage over insurgents through increasing the organisation’s human, social and knowledge capital.
